Astros and OF George Springer avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $24 million contract.

The deal is a compromise after Springer recently requested $10.5 million and was offered $8.5 million by the Astros when arbitration figures were exchanged last month. Springer is a Super Two player, so he will have one more year of arbitration eligibility in 2020. The 28-year-old is coming off a brilliant year where he batted .282/.367/.522 with 34 home runs over 140 games. Feb 5 - 9:50 AM

George Springer requested $10.5 million and was offered $8.5 million by the Astros when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

They are far enough apart that an arbitration hearing seems likely. Springer is coming off the best season of his career in which he slashed .283/.367/.522 with 34 longballs, 85 RBI and 112 runs scored in 140 games. Jan 12 - 6:31 PM

George Springer went 2-for-5 with a homer and two runs scored in a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series on Wednesday to give the Astros their first ever world championship.

Springer did all of his damage in the first two innings, but what an incredible two innings it was. He started the game with a double down the line, and he scored after a silly error by Cody Bellinger a batter later. An inning later, he took a hanging fruit of a pitch by Yu Darvish and drilled it 438 (estimated) feet to give the Astros a 5-0 lead. After going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Game 1, Springer was the best hitter for Houston the rest of the series and was named MVP. Expect another step forward for the star outfielder in 2018.

George Springer went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in the Astros' World Series Game 6 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Springer went deep off Dodgers starter Rich Hill in the top of the third inning for the first run of the game, but that was all the meaningful offense Houston could muster in an eventual 3-1 defeat at Dodger Stadium. Springer has four home runs in the 2017 World Series and all of them have been either of the game-tying or go-ahead variety. He'll be raring to go for Game 7 on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old hurler underwent Tommy John surgery in May and will be sidelined until the middle of the 2018 season. By placing him on the 60-day DL though, the Astros are able to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Jandel Gustave underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow Wednesday in Houston.

It was a UCL reconstruction procedure, which sounds a lot like Tommy John surgery. Gustave landed on the disabled list April 20 after experiencing tightness in his right forearm and he'll now remain sidelined until sometime in 2018.
